This team is in decline, and it's clear to anyone who's been watching the games closely. I think we'll still make the playoffs, but I'm 100% convinced we're not making it out of the first round. As I predicted when it was announced, the KD trade is a failure. Rockets need to trade KD this offseason so that we get something back before he retires, and fire Stone too.
Well, one can hope FVV returns and has time to get into enough shape to help not hinder in the playoffs (long layoff, tough injury, team chemistry, what have you). A shame Stone couldn't bother to take this season seriously. To be fair, what did he have to offer Sacramento for some PG action? Maybe Stone and Ime are just hoping FVV their god can swoop in at the last minute.
No. I doubt he would have been the pick if the Rockets were drafting or themselves. I'd guess the Rockets would have taken Coward or maybe a flyer on Kasparas.
